Safety Restraint Belt Twisted
During Pregnancy
Pregnant women should always wear
combination lap/shoulder belts. The lap
belt portion must be worn snugly and as
low as possible across the pelvis. To avoid
pressure on the abdomen, the belt must
never pass over the waist. A properly worn
seat belt may significantly reduce the risks
to woman and baby in the event of a crash.
Safety Restraint Tips
• Do not wear a belt over rigid or
breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eye glasses,
pens, keys, etc., as these may
cause injury in an accident.
• Any authorized person sleeping in
your vehicle while it is moving
should use the bunk restraint.
• Any authorized person sitting in the
sleeper area on the sofa bed (if
equipped) while it is moving should
wear a seat belt.
• A responsible operator sees to it
that everyone in the vehicle rides
or sleeps safely. The operator is
responsible to inform any
passengers or co-drivers how to
properly use the seat belts and
bunk restraint in the vehicle.
• Do not strap in more than one
person with each belt.
• Keep seat belt and bunk restraint
buckles free of any obstruction that
may prevent secure locking.
• Damaged or worn belts in the cab
or sleeper, subjected to excessive
stretch forces from normal wear,
must be replaced. They may not
protect you if you have an accident.
• Any belts or restraints that have
been subjected to an accident
should be inspected for any loose
(attaching) hardware or damaged
buckles.
• If belts show damage to any part of
assembly, such as webbing,
bindings, buckles or retractors,
they must be replaced.
• Do not allow safety belts (seat or
bunk) to become damaged by
getting caught in door, bunk or seat
hardware, or rubbing against sharp
objects.
• All belts must be kept clean or the
retractors may not work properly.
• Never bleach or dye seat or bunk
restraint belts: chemicals can
